Terms of Service
In short: TextMyWorker is an early-access tool that connects a chat on your phone (Telegram, Slack or the TextMyWorker app) to Claude Code on your own computer. You stay in control of your computer, your Claude account and what you approve. It's free during the pilot, provided as is, and Israeli law applies. The full terms below are what count.
1. Who we are and what these terms cover
TextMyWorker is operated by Eyal Baruch, Israel (“TextMyWorker”, “we”, “us”). These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your use of the textmyworker.com website, the TextMyWorker bot on Telegram and Slack, the TextMyWorker app at app.textmyworker.com, the relay at relay.textmyworker.com, and the TextMyWorker software you install on your computer (together, the “Service”).
By messaging the bot, submitting the form, installing the software or otherwise using the Service, you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you use the Service for a company, you confirm you may bind it, and “you” includes that company. If you don't agree, don't use the Service.
2. Eligibility
You must be at least 18 and able to form a binding contract. The Service is a work tool for professionals and businesses, and isn't intended for consumers' household use or for children.
3. The Service and early access
The Service lets you send tasks from Telegram, Slack or the TextMyWorker app to Claude Code running on your own computer, approve or deny actions from your phone, and receive status updates and summaries. The work itself is done by Claude Code on your computer, under your own Claude plan.
The Service is in early access. Access is by invitation, and asking the bot, applying or joining the waitlist doesn't guarantee access or create any obligation on our side. Features can change, be limited or be removed, and things can break. We may set limits on usage, such as the number of new conversations or messages per day.
4. Your accounts and third-party services
The Service depends on services we don't control:
- Anthropic. Claude Code runs under your own Claude account and plan. You're responsible for that account, its costs and for complying with Anthropic's terms and usage policies.
- Telegram. If you use the Telegram channel, messages travel through the TextMyWorker bot on Telegram. Your use of Telegram is subject to Telegram's own terms. Telegram may limit or change how bots work.
- Slack. If you use the Slack channel, messages travel through the TextMyWorker bot on Slack. Your use of Slack is subject to Slack's own terms. Slack may limit or change how apps work.
- ElevenLabs. Voice notes are transcribed by ElevenLabs.
We're not responsible for these services, their availability, their outputs or their changes. If a provider restricts or ends what the Service relies on, we may have to change or stop the Service.
5. Your computer, access and approvals
You decide what your worker can use. At setup you choose its access level (for example one folder, several projects or full access), and you can widen access only from your computer. You're responsible for:
- the access level you choose and every action you approve, including by tapping Allow in Telegram, Slack or the app;
- using the Service only on computers, accounts, code and data you're authorised to use;
- keeping backups and reviewing what the worker did before you rely on it, especially for client work or production systems;
- keeping your phone and your Telegram or Slack account secure, pairing only an account you control, and disconnecting promptly (send
/disconnector runtextmyworker disconnect) if your phone or account is lost or compromised.
The safeguards (approval buttons, folder limits and, on a Mac, the sandbox) reduce risk but don't remove it. Risky commands are recognised by pattern and some can slip through, and at full access there's no folder limit or sandbox. The details and limits are on How it works & your data.
6. Acceptable use
You must not use the Service to:
- break any law or anyone's rights, or process personal data without a lawful basis;
- send spam or unsolicited messages, or use the TextMyWorker bot to contact anyone other than yourself;
- access or try to access another user's computer, messages or pairing, or any system without permission;
- probe, overload, bypass the limits of, or interfere with the relay, the bot or the app, or reverse engineer the relay;
- violate Anthropic's, Telegram's, Slack's or ElevenLabs' terms or policies;
- build or train a competing product from the Service.
We may suspend or unpair an account or computer that we reasonably believe is breaking these rules or puts the Service, our providers' policies or other users at risk.
7. Fees
The Service is free for design partners during the pilot. You keep paying your own providers, such as your Claude plan. If we introduce paid plans, we'll tell you the price and terms in advance, and paid use will start only if you agree to them.
8. Your content and our rights
Your content stays yours. Your messages, files, code and the worker's outputs (“Your Content”) belong to you, as between you and us. You give us a limited, non-exclusive licence to transmit and process Your Content only as needed to run the Service, as described in the Privacy Policy. You're responsible for Your Content and confirm you have the rights to it.
The Service is ours. We, or our licensors, own the Service, including the software, relay, website and the TextMyWorker name and logo. We give you a personal, non-transferable, revocable licence to use the Service under these Terms. Open-source components are licensed under their own licences.
Feedback. If you send us ideas or feedback, we may use them freely and without obligation to you.
9. Privacy
Our Privacy Policy explains what we collect and why. In short, the relay passes your messages through and doesn't store their content, and your files stay on your computer.
10. Suspension, termination and changes to the Service
You can stop at any time by disconnecting and uninstalling the software. We may suspend or end your access, or change or discontinue all or part of the Service, at any time. We'll try to give reasonable notice unless it's needed urgently, for example for security, legal reasons or a breach of these Terms. Sections 8 and 11 to 15 continue to apply after termination.
11. Disclaimers
The Service is provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, accuracy and uninterrupted or error-free operation, to the fullest extent the law allows.
AI output can be wrong, incomplete or harmful. Claude Code may make changes you didn't expect, and messages may be delayed, lost or not delivered. You're responsible for checking results before you rely on them. We don't control Anthropic, Telegram, Slack or ElevenLabs and make no promises about their services.
12. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent the law allows:
- we won't be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for loss of data, code, profits, revenue, business or goodwill, arising from or related to the Service, including actions your worker took on your computer, whether or not you approved them;
- our total liability for all claims related to the Service is limited to the greater of the amounts you paid us for the Service in the 12 months before the claim, or USD 100.
Nothing in these Terms limits liability that can't be limited by law, such as liability for fraud or wilful misconduct.
13. Indemnity
You'll indemnify and hold us harmless from claims, losses and reasonable costs, including legal fees, arising from Your Content, your use of the Service in breach of these Terms or the law, or actions you approved or allowed on your computer, to the extent permitted by law.
14. Governing law and disputes
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Israel, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. The competent courts in Tel Aviv-Jaffa, Israel have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute related to the Service or these Terms. This doesn't take away any mandatory protection you have under the law of the country where you live.
15. Changes to these Terms
We may update these Terms. We'll post the new version here with its effective date and, for material changes, let you know in advance in the chat or by email where we can. If you keep using the Service after the change takes effect, you accept the new Terms. If you don't agree, stop using the Service.
16. General
These Terms and the Privacy Policy are the whole agreement between you and us about the Service. If a provision is found unenforceable, the rest stays in effect. Not enforcing a right isn't a waiver. You may not transfer these Terms without our consent. We may transfer them in connection with a reorganisation, merger or sale of the Service. If these Terms are translated, the English version prevails.
